The Nova Society
We answer listener questions about the stories shaping today’s headlines and the social and political issues influencing our world. Our mission is to inform with clear, unbiased commentary grounded in critical thinking and analytical depth. Through thoughtful, in‑depth conversations, we explore current events and the challenges facing society, while still making space to enjoy the discussion along the way. We believe facts matter, and that misinformation and disinformation pose some of the greatest risks to an informed and healthy civilization.

Democrats Outperforming, Affordability, The Bar Association, and Health Insurance S4E245 12.12.2025
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, we answer an email from Emily, who lives in Olympia, Washington, asking, So there is a lot of talk about Democrats outperforming Kamala Harris in recent special elections. The pundits are claiming that this is a bellwether for things to come in the 2026 midterms. First, do you agree with that? Second, is this shift due to Harris being a terrible candidate or a rejection of Trump’s policies? And if there is time, one last question, I see that the VA bar association has decided to punt the football on disbarring Lindsey Halligan. Why do you think they are reluctant to act, and shouldn’t state bar associations hold these incompetent and corrupt Trump lawyers accountable?
